42 SATUIDAY NIGHT
Dodv IlneUy M.mghel in Fatal A,tI
dent nt Pooley Siding Alu.ut
Twenty-one Years Old.
George T. Bradford, Burlington
brakeman was instantly killed nt
Dooley siding, iuar Crawford, Satur
day night when he was struck by
passenger train number forty-two as
be slept on the railroad tracks.
Young Biadferd. who came to Al
liance and the employ fo the C. B. Sc
Q. about thirty days ago was a mem
ber of the crew for an extra vwst and
when the fnis-ht took thesid:ng Jit
Dooley to allow the passenger train
to i:u:i; he was sent out as flagman to
warn the other crew of the danger.
While on such duty ho, it is presum
ed, sat upon the rails to rest and
while so doing fell asleep. As the
passenger rounded the curve at this
point Engineer A. E. Nelson saw the
red signal lantern and at about the
came time he saw the young man
ranse from his position on the track
f.r.d fnll back again, too late to es
cape the oncoming locomotive and
Hi train. The engineer applied the
brakes and put into use every appli
ance and method known to avoid the
horrible accident but without avail,
but he was successful in bringing his
train to a standstill after five of the
cars had passed over the body. The
crew picked , up the remains, badly
cut up as they were, and .brought
them to Alliance where the body was
prepared for burial. Both limbs were
completely severed from the body at
the knees and the body crushed in
the accident. He was about twenty
one years of age.
The body was shipped te Brighton,
Colorado, the home of his mother for

BLOODY BATTLE RESULT
OF MEXICAN QUARREL
Three Mexicans, armed to the
teeth, stirred up no little excitement
Saturday afternoon at the railroad
yards when they engaged in a real
battle and started to cutting and
ehooting rather promiscously. The
trouble grew out of remarks made
about each other and which were
carried from one to the other by out
side parties it seems, after there had
been quarreling over some gambling
they had engaged in.
According to the statement of
Antonio Serbantez, who is now in the
county jail awaiting trial in the Dis
trict court or until he can secure
bond in the sum of f 2,000, there had
been had blood between Higinia
Trancisco, Juan Lopez and himself
tor some days and that he had car
ried a gun as protection. On this
particular occasion he was accosted
by the toher two, one of whom told
him that he did not appear to be a
bad man and that be was going to
kill him. This brought forth Anton
io's gun and forthwith one of the
others produced a knife and forced
him to give up his gun. This being
done his assailant slashed him across
the face with the knife cutting an
ugly gash of about three Inches on
the left side of his face and nearly
severing an important blood vein at
the Jaw. He procured another wea
pon and forced his opponents to re
turn his gun and then he began the
shooting an before he had finished
he Lad put six bulet holies through
the body of Trancisco, and came
dangerously near killing Mr. A.
Groce, the section foreman and his
nine year old daughter, who when
Informed that he was wanted at the
camp ventured to the scene not
knowing that trouble was brewing
and were struck by an estray shot.
Trancisco is still at the Mexican
quarters recuperating from his in
juries and si petting along nicely.
The other fellow escared on a de
parting freight train and has as yet
. not been apprehended.

GOVERNMENT CONTINUES
SALE SURPLUS FOODSTUFF
THRU DISTRICT STORES
Persons Residing in Nebraska, North

plies Ironi Omaha by Fin-eel Post
Prepaid.
Although the present indications
are that the government will discon
tinue the sale of Irs surplus food1
stuffs now stored in the army depots
throughout the country to municipal
ities there is great likelihood that it.
will continue to sell these goods to
individuals over the country. Such
sales are scheduled to start next
Thursday, September 2.th and will
continue until the surplus allotted to;
each district is disposed ' of. ' The
sales will he made over the counter

and delivery made by parcels post j
with the government paying the cost,
of transportation. j
People living in Nebraska, North i
and South Dakota will be supplied
from the Omaha depot: tnose resid
ing in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado
from the Denver stores.
Those of the Alliance people as in- ,
vested in these goods a couple or
weeks ago when the carload was re
ceived for distribution here by Mayor
Rodgers and the Community Club
speak well of the quality of the food
stuffs and many of them have ex
pressed regret in not having been
able to obtain larger quantities. Ac
cording to the information available
at this time there will be no limit
made by the government in its sales.
The Herald will have a supply of the
price lists and catalogs within a few
days and will be glad to pass out a

HORD POTASH COMPANY
WILL REBUILD ITS PLANT
According to reports reaching Al
liance this week from sources believ
ed to be reliable the Hord potash
plant recently destroyed by fire at j
Lakeside will be rebuilt in the near j
future.
This is particularly interesting to
those interested in the Industry here I
as it denotes confidence in the futuro '
of the industry. The other compan
ies, or most of them, have already ,
resumed operations and the Hord
plant was practically in readiness
when the disaster occurred. Reports
have it that the work will be started
immediately, but it is likely the
plant will not be as large as the
former one.

NEW LAW MAKES
SPUD GRADING
NECESSARY NOW
A. H. GROVES APPOINTED IN
SPECTOR FOR ALLIANCE
DISTRICT.
Every Shipr of Carload Iot Miiht

Shipment is Made.
A new Nebraska law provides that
each and every shipment of potatoes
comprising a carload or part of car
load lot must be Inspected by the
duly appointed inspector and graded
by him before the shipment is made
regardless of by whom owned or
shipped. Last year and under a rul
ing by the U. S. Food Administration
it was necessary for commission men
to have the shipments graded and so
successful was the scheme the Ne
braska legislature has passed a law
continuing the practice. It is claim
ed that-the "original arrangement
made possible the elimination of
ninety per cent of the loss and dis
puted claims of commission men.
Last Saturday Mr. George A. Wil
liams, chief inspector of the state ac
companied by Prof. Howard of the
state university was in Alliance and
Hemingford making the appointment
of assistant Inspectors. In Alliance
he has appointed Mr. A. H. Groves,
who handled the work last
year. Mr. Groves, will have in his
district: Yale, Blrdsll, Berea and
Letan. At Hemingford Mr. Peter
Jefisen will have charge of the work.
The following Is the grading
schedule as provided by the new law
Potato Grading Bill Passed by
1919 Session of the Nebraska Legis

tVmtrae tors of Job.
Alliance's water supply reservoir,
the standplpe, is being given a thor
ough overhauling and painting by
the 1). W. l'yie Company's force- e
expert workmen this week trd when
tnw Job l finished the reservoir will
h In Crptclrfs cn'iinon for another
prriod e f rrvcrrl y a errs.
The process employed by the l'yie
Company Is disiinetly-J.lfIutnt.thsn
other process s. P brings Into use
a specially prepared paint which in
sures against rust and which con
tains ingredeints that offset all ac
tion of hie acids and mineral proper
ties in the water. Nine yeas ago
this process was usel by the stand
pipe here by the I'jie Company and
at that time rivet heads bad become
eaten and the Iron was pitted in
places by rust. Since that time there
has been no greater damage done by
the damaging contents of the water
and the condition of the standplpe Is
about as good as then. Upon that
occasion Mr. Pyle guaranteed his
work for a period of five years; now
he lengthens his guaranty two years
a feature made possible by further
perfection of his process and the use
of the best materials obtainable.
Both the Interior and the exterion
have been treated. On the inside
the work is kept up day and night,
the night operations made possible
by a high powered electrical tquip
ment carried by the company which
not only furnishes the necessary
light, but also furnishes the driving
power for the steel brushes used In
cleaning the Iron walls. It was
necessary to empty the standplpe but
for two nights while the work was
being completed.
Mr. Pyle has been for years en
gaged in this line of work and dur
ing that time he has handled almost
all such contracts let in Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. He
has been accorded numerous con
tracts by the government and has
many splendid endorsements of his
work. A few days ago he was given
an order by the Great Western Sugar
Company that calls for the painting
and repairing of sixteen tanks and
towers owned by the company and in
use at the sugar factories. Eleven of
these towers are located in Colorado;
three in Nebraska, one in Billings,
Montana and one in Wyomine. The
contract is one of the largest ever let I
in this section of the country for
such work. The Job will be handled
early next year.
M'FALL IS BOUND OVER
TO THE DISTRICT COURT
Evidence Submitted at Preliminary
Hearing Sufficient to Warrant
Holding for Trial.
Lee McFall, charged with having
fired the shot which mutilated the
hand of John Tepples a couple of
weeks ago, was bound over to the
district court in the preliminary
hearing held Tuesday at Bridgeport.
The complaint was made by the
young mau'a father. Several wit
nesses from Alliance were examined
during the hearing, among whom
were: Dr. C. E. Slagle, John Pepples,
C. A. Lalng, Clarence Jones and Geo.
Stafford. The testimony was such
as to convince the Judge that- the
member had been injured by i
charge of shot and not by the explo
sion of a lamp as was first contended
and the defendant is to be held pend
ing trial or the obtaining of bond?
in the sum of $5,000. The accident
happened at the McFall ranch in
Morrill county.

and tjieir development will proceed
without delay. The new company
is to be known as the Wyoming
Northeastern Oil Company. The
board of directors consists of Chas.

tho Mule Creek f!'-H, 'f'Ve'n miles
west of Edgemont, H. 1.. across tho
Wyoming li7ie, include 3.440 acres.
ThiB is the proven shallow field
which has been creating a great deal
of excitement and in which the Ohio
and Midwest oil companies have
large oil holdings. There are at th" .

discovery well waB brought In by the
Ohio oil company at a depth of 1380
feet, this well having a capacity of .
250 barrels every 24 hours.
The, holdings of .the .company on
the Cheyenne river, in the "Hidden
Dome" district, comprise 8,000 acre
of land, which will soon be proven by
drilling. Test drilling has been going
on near these holdings for several
months to determine structure. Sev
eral wells will be stsrted soon In thla
district, which Is now the center of
nuiflrtxcitenrnt.
Th'; ce-ipany also has holdings in
two other fields which are of much
promise. Prominent and reliable geo
